Patented July 5, 1932 UNITED STATES WILHELM PAUL SCHMIDT, or sAnraAifcrsco', CALIFORN A sUsPENsoRY,

Application filed January 22, 1929. Serial No. 334,234.

This invention relates to a suspensory for acute diseases of the male organs, and its object is to produce asuspensory which will be made of a longitudinally corrugated impervious material to prevent it from adhering to the organs and which will for the same reason permit any moisture to drain down to the bottom of the sac.

Another object of providing the corrugated sac is to allow for ventilation and expansion of the sac.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a flap for the removal of the organ when the patient desires to urinate.

Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the sac on the line 3-3 Figure 2.

' The numeral 1 indicates the belt which has two ordinary buttons or snap glove fasteners 2, 3 at its wider end, while an adjusting buckle 4 is provided at the other end.

There is also a strap 5 which is passed through the buckle 4; and which strap has the two snap fasteners 5 and 6. The snap fasteners 2, 3 and 5, 6 cooperate with four'snap eyes 7 to 10 inclusive on a flat band 11.

The flat band 11 has a bellows like longitudinally corrugated tube 12 secured thereto, and into which the male organ can be placed. This corrugated tube has some holes 13 at diiferent places in its upper portion toallow a certain amount of ventilation, and it also has a flap 14: which may be secured in the position shown in Figure 1 by two snap fas-' teners15and16., T 1

The flap 14 islarger than the opening inv which it is secured by an amount shownat 14:, Figure 2 to insure any moisture passing 0 I down inside the suspensory, the flapbeingopened whenever the patient desires. to urinate. t j 'At the top of the sac'the corrugations are arched over and two holes 18 permit the sup- 5 port of asuitable bandage with atape passing through the holes. Opening 17 indicates opening for the entrance of the organ into the sac as shownat Figure 2.

Having thus described my invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows, but modifications" may be made in carrying out, the invention as shown in the drawing and in the above particularly described form thereof, within the purview of the annexed claims. Y

I claim: 1 vv .1. A suspensory for maleslcomprising a flat band, and a longitudinally cylindrical corru-v gated retaining sac carried by the flat band, {10
